A YELLOW FEVER CURE.
A Savannahian's New Treatment OF
Germinal Diseases.

Henry Sack is of the opinion that he has
discovered a mechanical treatment for
germinal diseases which is infallible and
which will effect cure within from an
hour to five hours. 1t viii, he says, cure
all fevers including the much dreaded yell
low fever He claims that he has not
evolved a theory, but proved one for he
lives on the edge of Cuvler swamp and has
lived there with his entire family for three
years and has enjoyed the most perfect
health. None Of the members Of
his family have ever suffered
from malaria or been sick
at all since they have lived in that very
sickly place Mr.. Sack has nursed yellow
fever without catching it. He has recently
returned from Tampa, where he served as a
nurse through the epidemic there. AS he
states in his communication, which is
printed below, his discovery has not been
seriously considered by physicians, but he
consoles himself with the fact that most of
the other discoveries have been similarly
treated by the men Of science.
Editor Morning NetCs: During my visit
to Tampa | had occasion to read nearly
every article concerning yellow fever, and
l found that every writer has his own idea
which is generally based on hearsay, and
very seldom on practical experience. But
suppose every article written came from
learned men, and the disease has been
handled or treated by the most skilled
physicians known, how is it that about 25
per cent. of the patients succumb to the
fever, even in such mild type as the cpl
demic of Tampal AS a nurse, l had to
carry out the different doctors Instructions
to the letter, and l have convinced myself
of what was necessary to know, and,
therefore, openly and regardless of how my
action may be censured, | express my opin-
ion-which l can and will prove to be
correct
Yellow fever, as dreadful as it may ap-
pear, is one of the easiest of diseases to cure,
as it gives ample and timely warning of its
approach, whether in a mild or severe form,
before it causes severe sickness ordeath. If
| the right treatment is applied no one need
to bother about it after four or five hours.
| name this as the longest time, though in
some cases an hour or less is enough. l have
no doubt but that my theory will meet
strong opposition, but | cannot but advance
it, for state facts as they really are, and
which, after thorough trial, cannot be dis
puted. The theory of this discovery have
studied for more than eleven years, and the
treatment which make known will, if cor
rectly applied or carried out, prove the
proper remedy for yellow fever or any
germlnal disease, no matter how contrary it
may be to the former or the present medical
treatment; and any one acquainted with me
must be assured that | am pretty certain of
the truth of my statement when | offer my
self for experimental purposes.
am willing to take this yellow fever, or
any germinal disease, and | will throw it
off at pleasure. The fact is that few years
ago / made an offer to the Georgia Medical
Society, of Savannah, Surgeon General
Hamilton, of Washington, DR.. Holt, of New
| Orleans, and others, to put my discovery
into proper hands and have it looked into.
was positive of my statement then, but as
it is absurd or cranky for simply a man.
witoout doctor or professor printed on his
inexpressibles, to even allude TO anything
else but an old theory, the matter received
little attention. Nevertheless / state that
if the following remedy is carried OUT or
practiced, that microbes, germs or miasms
will not affect the human system, and will
not spread disease, as has heretofore been
| the case, and not cause such stampedes and
fright as in former years.
The treatment is simple as it can be-
Cause an upward tendency of your or the
patients bowels, which will cause the gas to
escape or move, and remove the coating of
| the tongue, and put the body into free
perspiration The symptoms will disappear
in less than an hour. 1t may be necessary to
roll the body in horizontal position to
allow change in the position of the bowels
Any method the patient may prefer will do,
to show the patient he is not sick at all. To
prove my theory correct / am ready for any
experiment on myself personally
